Robert Downey, Jr.: Private Dick?
INFDaily

Jeez! You finally kick the junk after 20 years, star in one $300-million-grossing megahit, and suddenly everyone and their agent wants you.

The latest casting rumor regarding Robert Downey, Jr. puts the 43-year-old Iron Man in the lead in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. Hey, Sherlock, use your magnifying glass to find out where Madonna locked-stocked away Guy's balls, as long as you're there.

Downey's also reportedly up for a Hugh Hefner biopic, Iron Man 2 and an Avengers movie.

Watch for RDJ donning blackface in Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder this August.

Hmmm. Will the former Charles Chaplin look at all out of place on this red carpet?

He then immediately dumped all his drugs into the ocean and decided to clean up his act. Robert claims he used the experience for a scene in Iron Man when his character asks for a burger after escaping the terrorists.

Well, whatever did it for him, I'm just glad he got his life and career back! I wasn't going to marry him if he was going to have to spend more time in rehab than with me!”

“Robert Downey Jr. told UK magazine Empire that Burger King was what finally gave him the strength to kick his drug habit and get his career back.
Robert said that in 2003 he was driving a car full of "ton of f---ing dope." He was hungry pulled over to pick up…”
